The Best Herbs to Grow At Home For Spring
With the beautiful Spring weather upon, now is the ideal time to get into your home garden and start growing your own organic herbs.
So, what are a few good herbs to harvest in your own backyard? Here are a few suggestions:
Mint
Mint is an ideal herb that will keep growing back year after year. It can be planted in the shade along the side of the home, which also help prevent unwanted bugs from coming in as they aren’t usually fans of herbs. Once grown, these herbs can easily add some great flavor to your iced tea or lemonade.
Rosemary
Rosemary is an easy but slower grower then mint but thrives year-round so when you start growing them and they get up and going you will have a constant supply. In contrast to Mint, once the plants are mature, they like full sunshine and well-drained soil. Rosemary is the perfect complement to various meats and other garlicky type dishes.
Sage
Sage and its beautiful purple flowers make for a great addition to a fragrance garden and in Florida where it is warm year-round, can be planted at any time of the year as long as there is good sunlight and ideal drainage. This herb pairs well with any poultry dish and can be complimented with a nice glass of Merlot.
Chamomile
Another ideal plant to grow in early Spring, chamomile is easy to grow in either full sun or partial shade. This “relaxation” herb is known to be a great antidote to stress-caused physical problems. Once grown it can be mixed into tea or infused with honey.
While these are just a few of the various herbs that can be grown as the spring calendar approaches, there are many others to choose from. And, to make the growing of these wonderful and useful herbs that much easier, plant them in a PLANTPOCKET.
PLANTPOCKETS are ideal for growing herbs as there are no competing weeds and with their knitted mesh, keep plants cooler. Simply grow and hang the pocket on the side of your home or on a railing, dock or fence.
